Below is a sample message. Dear Governor DeSantis, American citizens, some Florida residents, are being unconstitutionally held in prison for being in the Capitol January 6, 2021.

Consider Giving to the GiveSendGo Fund for Angel and Ken Harrelson
 Here is the message Angel Harrelson posted:
Retired Army Sgt. Harrelson, Kenneth and family in need of help with family and legal funds in need of help to pay bills plus some other expenses that is needed as well..
I am Angel(his wife), we have 2 teenage children, daughter 15 and son 17. PLEASE READ UPDATES TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT'S HAPPENING! We need help because well I am sure you've seen the news on him. I am trying to raise the funds to pay for his legal fees, bills and groceries. I have found an attorney in Washington but it will cost me $100,000 just to retain a lawyer and $500 per hour after that plus other fees, which could cost up to $500,000 the lawyers told me. I am struggling with this as I am typing this. A little about him. He was medically retired out of the of the army and not long after that he had 2 back surgeries and a shoulder surgery. He is the kind man that will give you the shirt off his back no matter who or what color you are. He has helped many and refuse to charge or take money from them because helping others was his reward. He is the kind of person that when I had my surgery he waited on me hand and foot, even cleaned me up. I have lost my job because of this and his account has been frozen and that is where his VA benefits go. Since that has happened I can't pay our house note or vehicle note and insurance( that has been unfrozen now but I still have nothing left after only some of the bills get paid). I am also dealing with emotional teenage daughter and son. Everyone we know can tell you he is not a monster and NOT a TERRORIST. THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL!!! He didn't' do any of those things they say. He is a protector and saves lives not give harm to others. I appreciate any help donations or prayers for our family. SO PLLLEEEAAAASSSEEE HELP US I AM BEGGING!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT DOES AND EVEN CONSIDERS IT. Angel Harrelson You can give by clicking this link. | | | | YOUR Help is Needed—Support Jack May, Dean and Janet Mixon 
Your help is needed: Jack May, Janet and Dean Mixon, along with Tea Party Manatee, (now doing business as Manatee Patriots), have been named in a complaint focusing on MP donations to candidates. Kenneth Piper (who recently unsuccessfully ran for chairman of the Manatee County Republican Executive Committee) filed the complaint with the Florida Elections Commission. Piper is requesting that the state levy heavy fines and possibly even pursue criminal charges for these supposed violations. Ken Piper is using the courts to silence anyone who disagrees with him. This is a tactic that if not stopped will be used over and over again until freedom of speech is just an idea in the history books. Jack and the Mixons have worked for many years to make Manatee County a better place, to help elect good political candidates and to hold them accountable once in office. Now they need our help. The complexity of the code requires that we retain legal counsel in order to protect ourselves and the integrity of Manatee Patriots. Please consider giving towards our legal fund at the Christian-based crowd-funding site, GiveSendGo. You can also donate at our meetings. You can make your generous donation by clicking this link. | | | |
